The Power Of Rulers,

Whether war Is to be or not to be is the
question agitating Europe, and the manner
In which stock values are affected suggests
that the men who have the question to de.
eide are finding money profit in the agita-
ton it may be that they take this easy
way to provide the war supplies. Ministers
who have obstinate Parliaments on hand
may 60 to the bourses to play for the money
which they can stock the cards to win.
We are not advised that such means Of re.
plenishing national exchequers are used but
they would seem to be readily available.
But probably men who would be un.
serupulous enough to use them would not
be solicltous to let the profits pass by
their own purses. In these days when The
stock exchanges control such immense
values, that the rumors Of war may sffec
| to the amount Of millions in an hour, it i
easy to see the great power that is lodge,

1t may be abused to tax the public.

Che0slue Magistrates.

There are Eve police magistrates TO be
elected in Philadelphia. The Democrats
have nominated two and TIE Republicans
nominated three. The law is so made that
the political conventions select these off,
GERS and the people simply ratify the choice.
It was intended TO make these non-partisan,
and therefore no voter was allowed to vote
for all the candidates. The consequence
IL that the majority and minority parties
agree as to the number which each can
elect, and concentrate their vote on them
by only dominating that number.
1t Is an absurd conclusion, since 1t euablet
the strongest partisans and ward work
ers to get on the magistrates bench, and
makes them slaves, which were to be non
partisan, to be the very thrones of the part,
in the ward upon which are seated tn,

find the way to obtain the competent an,
impartial magistrates which we 50 mucl

Mr., TELLER said some very telling things
about the value of measures OF defense IN the
course OF Wednesdays Senate debate.
He said that hundred million dollars was
stored in the treasury OF San Francisco, and
single iron clad could compel the su,hori.
ties to surrender 1t, or suffer the destruction
OF the oily. That France, Russia and Eng
land have together Is, 900 high power gus,
while the United States has but %. That
England could send iron.clads and
war vessels into the great lakes by way OF
the Wellsnd canal to lombard cities and levy
tribute all slong their coasts, while we have
| no. vessel TO send against them, and no
canal through which an efficient war ship
| could pass. That we have only one ship
| With one gun that could be made ready for
service In three months, and that is the dis.
| patch boat Dolphin.
These statements were made on the au.
| thority Of the admiral of the navy, and Ger.
tainly give good cause for prompt action In
the matter OF defenses, but 1t Is not plain that
